Lecture on Meditation: “We all live under pressure to meld our thoughts into those of larger groups: political, identity, social media, and this can alienate us from our sense of ourselves. At the same time we get isolated in front of our screens. Meditation is a traditional way of enhancing our autonomy and stability, and of stimulating generous and charitable attitudes. It links us to wisdom of the ancients and to contemporary neuroscience.”
Lecture by Dr. Paul R. Fleischman,
